Meet Kathleen Alexander
The Call To Adventure Kathleen grew up in Malaysia and moved to the US to pursue her studies. After completing a BA in Business Management, she started her first job in a reputable advertising agency in Kuala Lumpur. She then moved to Hong Kong to work for some of the world’s largest media companies, relocating to Sydney in 2000 as Marketing Director for Cartoon Network & Turner Classic Movies. Whilst the rise up the corporate ladder was everything she had wanted, she soon realised it wasn’t all she thought it would be. After a period of tossing between the safety of following a well-trodden path and heeding the call to adventure, she finally decided on the latter. Much to the horror of her mother, she resigned from her job and embarked on a journey that involved retraining, moving to Melbourne and starting up Clever Fox from scratch. A New Beginning When Kathleen established Clever Fox in 2004, she focused on personal coaching services. As her clients started getting rapid and tangible results, Kathleen’s reputation grew. Confident in her abilities to help them get hard hitting results, many of her clients returned for assistance in specific areas relating to their career development. Clever Fox has evolved from being a purely coaching business to one that offers a host of related solutions that help individuals advance in their personal and professional lives. Kathleen's experience in senior roles within the business world, her insight into human behaviour and her dedication to her clients have been cited as reasons why clients choose her as their personal coach. Kathleen thrives on the multiplicity of her role as personal change catalyst, career marketing strategist, confidante and coach to her clients. Her blog, After The Plunge, inspires individuals who want to escape the daily grind for a more meaningful life with practical tips, real life examples and thoughtful insights. Find out what Kathleen's clients say about her. Work aside, she is a dog lover, a domestic goddess "in training" and an avid reader who lives in Melbourne with her partner, Guy. Media Kathleen has been quoted in the media for her expertise on career and personal development. Her views have been sought by magazines, online publications and radio stations.

People often tell us they love the name Clever Fox (we do too!) so we thought we'd share the story behind the name. Foxes are legendary for their wit and intelligence. Thriving throughout the world, they can be found just about anywhere - from dry deserts to the vast expanses of the Arctic tundra, and even city fringes. The secret to their success - their ability to adapt and respond to their surrounds. That pretty much sums up what Clever Fox is all about. We aim to help our clients be fox-like so that they too thrive, regardless of the circumstances they find themselves in. Awards and Accreditation:
